Alan Grayson tries the Creigh Deeds electoral strategy…

…to wit, getting into the news by hitting stuff with his car*:

Former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson crashed into a Lynx bus in downtown Orlando about noon Saturday.

[snip]

Investigators said Grayson was driving a Mercedes, when he ran a red light and hit the bus.

Glenn Reynolds notes that disregarding public safety to the point of injuring others while driving an expensive automobile to a fat-cat fundraiser would be generally considered the sort of thing that the Occupy movement would be against: my response to that is that consideration assumes that anyone that matters takes Occupational rhetoric seriously, including the Occupiers themselves.

Moving along… fortunately, there were reportedly only minor injuries. And hopefully neither of the two people injured were Republicans; if either were, you can pretty much count on Alan Grayson actually trying to fundraise off of the incident.

I don’t know. Am I joking? It’s Alan “K Street Whore” Grayson, after all.

*This is probably a bit unfair to Creigh Deeds, given that he’s simply not an Alan Grayson. Then again, life is not exactly fair, is it?

    Mercedes with no consideration for us lowly 99s.

    However it happened it must have been a Republican plot, it was the fault of the bus.

  • smagar

    Could Alan be campaigning any better…for the GOP, that is?

    As Obi-Wan said, the Jedhi Mind Trick works best on the feeble-minded.

    He was fairly good entertainment but I would hate to think the people of his district would actually send him back to congress.

    DIE QUICKLY.

    which shows the usual foresight and thought that Grayson puts into things, which is very little.

    Florida has their share of rich, rude and crude. Alan fits that description.

    And my single biggest motivation for voting in November will be a toss up between getting rid of Obama and keeping Grayson from “representing” me.

  • Juggernaut

    But no, drive a mercedes and whimper about the success of the auto bailout.

    Remember Full Metal Jacket, someone posted this the other day so Greyson’s movie star equivalent is back again.

    My two prime motivations, as well.

    ps: No polling out yet but my sense is he’s retained his hero status with progressives & his biggest funders,….out of state donors. However Orlando area repubs and independents still want no part of him and will keep him out. He’s a campaign slush fund trying to masquerade as a candidate.
